So 'Teamster Boss' was wrong?

In the early part of that made-by-HBO 1992 film
Greene says to Jackie Presser
"Hey what did you do this time, you crazy fxxking Jew"

well yes Jack was a Jew so as his father Bill of course, and their friend and also a Cleveland Consigliere Milton Rockman too.

And Nardi says to Greene
"This is the time for us to make our move.
This could be the end of the wop-jew era,
and just the beginning of the wop era.
Me(Nardi) with my truckers and you(Greene) with your longshoremen.
We could have a piece of everything from Erie to Fort Wayne.
What do you think, you in?"

Greene says "I don't like wops any more than I like Jews."

Nardi says "So You're in or you're out?"

Greene says "I'm in."

Nardi says
"Well As long as you're in.
That's what's important to me.
I don't care if you like me or not."

(Well the 'W word' is just as the characters said, not me.
So don't blame me.)

And in this particular film, Nardi dies because he was standing in Presser's way.
Presser wanted to take over Nardi's Teamster position.
Nardi was killed by Milton Rockman's orders.

Whereas this 2011 film "Irishman" shows that afterall Greene wasn't a labour leader at the time anymore.
he was prohibited because of his greed.

And I'd also like to know about the story of Ray Ferritto, the killer of Danny Greene.
I want more than this film and wikipedia page.
Was he doublecrossed just like that?
Was he really that extremely greedy?

For instance, Vince "chin" Gigante, the shooter of Frank Costello's scalp didn't end up like that.
Later he became quite a powerful boss.

Please will you repost that in English?

I bet you're not an mob expert and so indifferent to mob because you're nitpicking and barking up the wrong tree,
and never giving any meaningful infos here.
I bet you don't have anything to give us about the Cleveland saga.
There's very limited possibilities that Joe Dokes like you could turn out to be an expert.
That's like a silly hopeless lottery.
Of course you can bluff here and hide behind the internet, but you're still just a dust.

And your illiteracy and attention deficit is just your fault.
So look at yourself and don't blame others.
I'm not going to take your crybaby behaviour.
The world does not revolve around you.
Stop making a mess with your poo poo.
Just keep on walking away.
Beat it and get lost.
And get your eyeballs checked.

Your mummy must be so proud. Illiteracy and attitude, all in one aggressive little bundle. Bless.

Still out there making friends Bogwart?

You have to excuse Bogwart - he suffered depression when his wife "left" him lol. He spends his days in a grotty London flat with dirty curtains!

Spacemouse, I checked what kind of relationship do you have with Bogwart.
I saw the board of The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)

Yeah I agree with you Spacemouse.
Bogwart does seem to have a severe disability.
And malicious personality without right cause too.
I thought that creature was upset about the W word, which does appear in this 2011 film too.
But that creature is rather just a bulldog looking for trouble.
I got to excuse Bogwart as you say so.
